Dear Coastal,
I don’t know about you – but I can’t wait to worship with my Coastal family this Sunday! I’ve missed you! And this Sunday (as always) is going to be AWESOME! We’re having Baptisms in both services! I can’t wait! Baptism is a beautiful picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. It symbolizes new birth, a new beginning, a washing away of our sins. It is an outward picture of the inward faith that we’ve placed in Christ. It is our way of “going public” with our faith. Colossians 2:12 says, “For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to a new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.” The Bible also says that when just one person finds their way home to God, that all of Heaven rejoices and celebrates (Luke 15). So be at Coastal this Sunday and help us celebrate!
My message this week in our UNSHAKABLE series is all about dealing with the storm of doubt. Ever struggle with doubts? Are doubts keeping you from taking a next step in an important area of your life? Don’t miss this Sunday!
3 beautiful baby boys were born this week to wonderful Coastal families – and more are on the way! Our church is GROWING (one way or another)! If you’re looking for a fruitful & fulfilling place to serve at Coastal, look no further than our Coastal Kidz Children’s Ministry! They NEED you! Whether it’s teaching, assisting, cleaning, holding babies, escorting parents, checking children in, or running a DVD player/computer, there is a place for you! You’ll meet other awesome people like yourself, make new friends, serve God by serving others, and make an eternal difference in the life of a child. You change the life of a child – you change the world. Be a world changer and volunteer to serve in Coastal Kidz!
